Summary: This study investigated racial differences in associations between knee osteoarthritis symptoms and pain catastrophizing domains among Hispanic and non-Hispanic White patients. The findings revealed that pain catastrophizing was associated with symptomatic experiences and demographic factors varied in their associations with pain severity and physical function difficulties.

Summary: This study investigated the mediation of pain catastrophizing between ethnicity/race and pain, disability, and physical function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The findings suggest that higher levels of catastrophizing among Non-Hispanic Black individuals mediate the relationship between ethnicity/race and pain outcomes, indicating the importance of considering this variable in addressing ethnic/race group disparities in chronic pain. Additionally, catastrophizing was found to be a significant predictor of pain and disability 2 years later in both ethnic/race groups.

Summary: Pain intensity in patients with frozen shoulder affects psychological factors, leading to changes in self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing. These relationships are significant and contribute to chronic pain outcomes.

Summary: The study found that changes in pain catastrophizing before and after total knee arthroplasty were associated with pain severity. Reduction in pain catastrophizing from baseline to 6 weeks after TKA was related to lower pain severity at 3 months after TKA, while reduction in pain severity at 6 weeks was not associated with pain catastrophizing at 3 months. In the chronic postsurgical period, pain catastrophizing at 6 months after TKA predicted pain severity at 12 months after TKA.

Summary: The study investigated the psychometric properties of custom short forms assessing pain-related self-efficacy and catastrophizing, showing good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The study supports future research on the role of these constructs in managing individuals with LBP.

Summary: This study found that pain catastrophizing and fear of movement were associated with quality of life in patients with severe hip osteoarthritis. Pain catastrophizing was related to disease-specific quality of life, while fear of movement was related to overall quality of life.

Summary: The study suggests that interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRPs) can effectively improve depressive symptoms by increasing pain self-efficacy and reducing a sense of helplessness. Both individual and group formats of IPRP demonstrated significant treatment effects, providing evidence for the treatment mechanisms in IPRP.

Summary: A single-session pain management class was found to result in clinically significant improvements in pain catastrophizing, pain intensity, pain interference, and other secondary outcomes that were noninferior to 8-session CBT at 3 months among adults with CLBP.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between pain intensity, catastrophizing components, depression, and disability in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The results showed that age, pain intensity, catastrophizing, and depression can predict the disability level in CLBP patients.

Summary: The combination of high preoperative clinical pain intensity, high levels of pain catastrophizing thoughts, and impaired conditioned pain modulation may predict long-term postoperative pain 12 months after surgery, explaining approximately 20.5% of variance in follow-up pain.

Summary: This study examined the associations between central sensitization and various factors in patients with chronic shoulder pain. The results showed that catastrophizing, depression, and functionality were predictive factors for central sensitization symptoms. Patients classified as centrally sensitized had worse functionality, psychological factors, and pain intensity.
